Angeboten wird „Altec 416-802-811 Speakers with JBL Super Tweeters“ von Altec Lansing aus der Kategorie „Standlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 3995962393 endet am 15.09.2026 um 17:13 Uhr.
The 802-8D is a classic Altec compression driver, valued for its efficient, immediate presentation and the kind of horn-loaded dynamics that made the brand legendary. At €6,500, this asking price looks ambitious versus typical used-market expectations for a single vintage driver; unless this includes a highly desirable horn, a matched pair, or exceptional provenance, it reads high rather than fair.
What makes it worth a look is the Altec sound itself: lively mids, strong presence, and real scale when paired with the right horn and crossover. A clean, original example can be a rewarding buy for a serious horn system, especially if diaphragm condition and originality check out. At this price, I’d want clear photos, confirmed impedance/model details, and strong evidence of proper operation before paying up.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Altec Lansing traces its roots to 1927 in the United States, emerging from the merger of Western Electric’s theater-equipment arm, All Technical Service Company, with Lansing Manufacturing, the speaker company founded by James B. Lansing. The Altec-Lansing name reflects that union, and the brand’s early reputation was built in cinema and professional sound rather than consumer hi-fi.
Historically, Altec Lansing was known for loudspeakers, theater systems, and audio amplifiers, especially the legendary Voice of the Theatre systems that became a benchmark in cinema sound. In its classic era, the company also helped define the early hi-fi market by promoting professional-style sound systems for home use.
In market terms, Altec Lansing is best understood today as a legacy heritage brand rather than a current high-end audiophile heavyweight. Its name still carries weight among collectors and vintage audio enthusiasts because of its pro-audio history and classic speaker designs, but the modern brand identity is far more mainstream and consumer-oriented than its mid-century golden age.
